## Review summary

Cardiograph is praised for being easy to use, fast, and good for on-the-go heart-rate logging, with a free basic option and useful tracing. However, many reviews flag severe accuracy issues: waveforms seem fake, readings may be unreliable, irregular rhythms aren’t reliably captured, and device/camera compatibility problems persist. It also lacks any interpretation of results and can fail during health episodes. Overall, loved for convenience but not trusted for medical decision-making.

### Pros

- Very easy to use and quickly record heart-rate data.
- Clear tracing and reliable rate capture for tracking heart rate.
- On-the-go monitoring: usable in public and anywhere.
- Free basic version and ability to maintain heart-rate logs.
- New version is fast and streamlined compared with older models.

### Cons

- Waveforms appear fake and readings are not a real EKG; overall accuracy is questionable.
- Inconsistent saving of readings; cannot reliably show irregular rhythms.
- Compatibility issues with cameras/devices and poor support for newer hardware; not updated.
- Lacks interpretation/analysis of readings.
- Unreliable during health episodes (tachycardia/AFib) and sometimes produces errors.
